Chantecler

Chanteclers have the distinction of being the first-ever Canadian breed, and were developed for good egg and meat production and hardiness even in the coldest of winters. Toward that end, they're on the chunky side with extra-small combs and wattles. Today they're exceedingly rare throughout North America, but we do know of a few hatcheries that sell them, listed below under the "availability" header.
